Y’all — the zines are FINALLY ready to mail! I’ll be putting a few in the Ko-Fi store in the next few days. Thanks for your grace with this issue. Moving 8 hrs west, starting grad school and teaching, then having a fire & being displaced was A TEST but we passed!

Your physical copies (!!!) will be on their way once @dusti.bsky.social ‘s fire cleanup is complete. Wish we had a timeline for this (for all kinds of reasons!). If you’re jot a contributor and want to wait to order, we’re holding off on uploading it to our Linktree. Thanks for understanding!

I did it! Next is to figure out the scanning system at my new library so I can build the physical copies to send to our contributors and anyone who'd like to order a copy from our Linktree! We mail for free. If you want a copy and don't have any money, let the zine know and we'll see what we can do!

So we unintentionally didn’t open our subs on ChillSubs until July 2 (our “reading” period is different from our “submission “ period) so we’re keeping subs open until 7/15.
Now’s your time! Read our guidelines, check out our work, and submit if it fits — all links are in our bio!

I’m just an editor looking for more poems to read (because reading for two journals and a playwriting project isn’t enough for me).
Hey y’all! we start reading your submissions in July so go ahead and click on the link in our bio to get them in. Pay attention to the guidelines and just ask if you have any questions.
